OrgChartBuilder vs Sift

OrgChartBuilder creates, annotates, and shares organization charts from CSV data in a browser. Its import tool detects columns in HRIS exports and saves mappings for one-click re-imports; documented compatible exports include Workday, BambooHR, HiBob, and Personio, as well as plain spreadsheets. Scenario modelling supports private restructure drafts, side-by-side colour-coded comparisons, and redundancy cost analysis. The service exports multi-page PDFs, SVGs, and CSV data, although SVG export is available on Pro and higher plans. Advanced mode treats vacant roles as chart nodes and supports role sharing and interim appointments. Team and Company plans provide collaborative editing, with one editor at a time and read-only views for others. Org charts are encrypted in the browser using XChaCha20-Poly1305 with Argon2id-derived keys, and the server stores only encrypted bytes. The Free plan supports 200 employees and one user, but encrypted data is deleted after 90 days without login. Pro costs $99 per year and supports 1,000 employees, one user, and unlimited data retention. Team costs $499 per year; Company costs $5999 per year.

Sift helps organizations find colleagues, map reporting relationships, and understand how work is distributed. Its searchable people directory filters profile data by skills, roles, and other information. An automatically updated org chart uses company people data to show formal and informal reporting lines. Profiles can include skills, experience, projects, interests, pronouns, name pronunciation, and languages. Sift aggregates employee data from multiple systems into one profile, using prebuilt identity connectors and SFTP workflows. Listed integrations include Workday, UKG, Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace, Okta, Ping Identity, CSV files, Microsoft Teams, and Slack. Access is available in browsers, Windows and Mac desktop downloads, and iOS and Android apps, as well as through an API. Sift says customer data is encrypted at rest and in transit, segmented between customers, and regularly tested by third parties for penetration vulnerabilities. It also says it completed a SOC 2 Type 2 audit and is GDPR compliant. Plans start at $150 a month, billed annually, for 20 users; a 14-day trial provides access to Sift Complete. Sift does not offer native messaging or chat.
